Job Summary

  • As our Cloud Infrastructure Engineer, you will take the lead in designing, deploying, maintaining, and scaling our entire infrastructure — across data centers, virtual machines, storage, networking, and orchestration layers.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and manage our self-hosted cloud infrastructure (bare metal and virtualized).
  • Deploy and manage hypervisors (e.g. Proxmox, KVM, VMware ESXi).
  • Set up and optimize virtual machine orchestration, storage (ZFS, Ceph, RAID), and backups.
  • Configure and secure networking: VLANs, DNS, routing, firewall, VPNs, and load balancing.
  • Implement high-availability systems, failover planning, and redundancy strategies.
  • Develop automation scripts for provisioning, monitoring, backup, and disaster recovery (Ansible, bash, Python, etc).
  • Implement infrastructure monitoring (Prometheus, Grafana, Zabbix).
  • Establish infrastructure policies covering security, uptime, user isolation, and resource allocation.
  • Collaborate with technical leadership to evolve the infrastructure strategy and roadmap.

Requirements

  • 4+ years of experience managing on-prem or hybrid infrastructure — not just cloud platforms.
  • Hands-on experience with Proxmox VE, KVM, or VMware ESXi.
  • Strong Linux administration skills (Ubuntu/Debian/CentOS).
  • In-depth knowledge of networking protocols, firewall configuration, SSL/TLS, VPN, IP addressing, and routing.
  • Proven experience in infrastructure automation and scripting.
  • Familiarity with RAID, ZFS, Ceph, or other scalable storage solutions.
  • Working knowledge of monitoring and alerting systems.
  • Ability to optimize for performance, uptime, and cost-effectiveness.
  • Strong security awareness (DDoS prevention, port hardening, user isolation).
  • Self-starter with strong problem-solving and documentation skills.
